When thinking of the legends of the food industry, Jacques Pepin is one of the first who comes to mind. In addition to his many published books and television shows, Pepin also holds one of the dean positions at ICC. I had previously photographed his demos and seen him around school, but I was honored when he invited me to photographed a special event. Pepin’s foundation, the Jacques Pepin Foundation, provides culinary experience and resources for the unemployed. On January 11th, the foundation held their Inaugural Benefit, where several culinary stars came to raise money for culinary education. It was an amazing experience for a great cause.
